Republicans offer no relief at all, while Democrats are bragging that they achieved a $35/mo cap on insulin for those over 65. Okay, let’s break that down. That would still be $420 a year, and half of America’s seniors live on less than $25,000 a year. There are over 3 million insulin users over age 65, so if you multiply the 3 million by $420 that’s still a sweet profit for the pharmaceutical companies each year. And the situation gets worse. There are another over 5 million Americans needing insulin who are UNDER 65. Many are rationing their insulin, choosing on any given month whether to buy their insulin or pay their rent. This does not happen in countries where there is universal healthcare…which includes every advanced democracy except ours. What kind of “free market”leaves millions of people living their lives imprisoned behind the invisible walls of economic hardship? Millions of Americans have been trained to expect too little, numbed by a chronic, gnawing state of low-grade need to simply accept what they are given. They receive so little, and deserve so much more. #MedicareForAll (Gee, I wonder why the DNC doesn’t want to hold debates...)

Tell them both to quit poisoning us. Stand up for generations of gene manipulation

You literally broke nothing down. How much was it before?
Replying to @marwilliamson
So you admit the GOP offers nothing. One sentence. And then devote the entire remainder of tweet space on why Democrats are terrible for capping insulin at $35? This is why Democrats lose. Too busy pointing out flaws of other Democrats, they fail to capitalize on GOP failures.

You shouldn’t criticize progress made by people who know the reality of how things get done in divided government if you don’t have a plan other than complaining it’s not enough. I thought you would have learned from 2 Bernie losses that you need to do better than that to win.

Maybe it's because the US is neither advanced nor a democracy? 🤣
